I'm not perfect, but cooking & photography are the perfect hobbies for me!

The lines for today’s Book Beginnings post comes from the book “Four Sisters, All Queens” by Sherry Jones. Hop on over to Rose City Reader to see what other bloggers are reading today.

I am a sucker for historical royal fiction so I grabbed up this book when I spotted it at my local library. It is the first book of Ms. Jones that I have read, but I would definitely try out more of hers if given the chance. Here are the first lines:

“I, Beatrice of Savoy, am mother to four queens. What other woman in the history of the world could make this claim? None, I warrant, and none ever will.”

This makes me think that Beatrice wields some mighty power in her family and country’s lives.
